As we all know, Snapchat is the pioneer of the Stories features that every other social media later followed. Snapchat introduced this 24 hours expiry feature to allow people to share their lives with others. Some overzealous and mindless people have turned it into a nightmare with their absurd content. If you want to take a break from all the annoying stories of your friends or groups on Snapchat, then you can mute them. Keep reading to get the hang of the entire process. After this, you will no longer see their story in your story feed, nor will Snapchat prompt you to see their stories next while viewing stories of other friends.

Why Mute Someone’s Stories on Snapchat?

If you find one of your friends unbearable because they are oversharing on every social media platform, then literally every social media has given its users an option to mute such stories. Some people (not taking any names) get so excited when something new happens in their lives, like when they have gone on vacation or bought a cat, that they share every bit of it on their social media. Things take an even more unbearable turn when they share the same stories on all their social media. Sure, I can watch you playing with your cat on your Facebook and even Instagram, but the same stories on Snapchat — no, please, thank you! I have my limits. So, for such people, Snapchat has been kind enough to introduce the “Mute Story” option. Similarly, you can mute stories of any group on Snapchat where stories are not as frivolous as you like. You can take a break from such content.  It is a simple and easy process that will take a few seconds and bring so much joy to your life.

What Happens When You Mute Someone’s Stories on Snapchat?

Now, the good thing is that you can mute stories of your friends and groups without them knowing. They will never know that you do not see their stories because you have muted them. It will be less painful for them than you blocking them on Snapchat or watching half stories. They will not even get a notification.  Besides, they will stay your friend; you can send each other Snaps and messages as usual. So, all in all, a win-win situation (at least for you). Your friend will never know when you have muted/un-muted them on Snapchat. On the other hand, you will have a wholesome Snapchat experience just the way you like. Whenever the person whose stories you have muted shares any story, you will not see their profile on top of your story feed. These muted stories will not even appear or be prompted by Snapchat as up next when you are viewing stories of others.
